Notes:

In 1992 the idea for the Portsmouth Flood Wall Murals was born. Robert Dafford, an internationally known muralist from Lafayette, Louisiana, was contracted for the project. The first mural was completed in 1993. The murals are arranged chronologically from east to west, starting with the depiction of the Mound Builders, who are ancestors of the Shawnee Indians. The series of murals are a visual history of the Portsmouth area.

The river side of the flood wall has been painted with the Ohio Bicentennial Logo by barn painter Scott Hagen.
